About the Vera List Center

Founded in 1992 and named in honor of the late philanthropist Vera List, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School serves as a catalyst for discourse on the role of the arts in society and their relationship to the socio-political climate in which they are created. It seeks to achieve this through the organization of public programs that respond to the pressing social and political issues of our time as they are being articulated by the academic community and visual and performing artists. The center strives to enhance the university’s educational mission by bringing together scholars and students, the people of New York, and national and international audiences in an exploration of new possibilities for civic engagement.

Each academic year, the center dedicates its programming to one overarching theme, allowing for a continuous, in-depth, and interdisciplinary investigation. In recent years themes have included “Homeland,” “Considering Forgiveness,” “The Public Domain,” “Agency,” and “Branding Democracy.”
